A company uses two vans to transportworkers from a free parking lot to theworkplace between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.One van has 6 more

OverLord2011 [107]

X = small van capacity, y = larger van capacity
y = x + 6

2x + y = 57
now we sub in x + 6 for y
2x + x + 6 = 57
3x + 6 = 57
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
x = 51/3
x = 17

y = x + 6
y = 17 + 6
y = 23

small van (x) has 17 seats and large van (y) has 23 seats

A teacher writes an inequality x divided by 6 < -2 on the board. Vincent incorrectly solves the inequality and obtains x <

scZoUnD [109]

The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality that the teacher wrote is:

$\frac{x}{6} -2$

Solving an inequality means that the variable should be isolated on left side of the inequality.

So multiplying both sides by 6

$6* \frac{2}{6} < -2 * 6\\x < -12$

Vincent got the answer is x<-2 = > The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides
